I would love to see that!
I think that lack of magitech equipment in the D20 Blackmoor line was a missed opportunity for ZGG. While they did try to remedy it in Clock & Steam, they should have had all kinds of weird equipment originating from the City of the Gods, found scattered all over the place. Afterall, the D20 line is set almost 30 years after the first expeditions to the City of the Gods. Also, there is no reason why every single high tech item needs to be so powerful it unbalances a campaign either.
The main trick is how to include sci fi elements without making them cheesy. This I would solve by making the tech very different from real world modern technology. I would definitely stay clear of 1970s Sci Fi even if that is where the original inspiration came from
